Audi R8

Professional Reviews

“Yet the R8 saves its best for real roads and the real world. Its generous performance envelope contains a love letter to drivers of all skill levels: "Hey, let's fool around," the R8 whispers. "I promise we won't get in trouble." ” — Automobile

“It's Quattro, baby, and it's bellissimo.” — Automobile

“This, in essence, is what makes the new R8 truly great. Audi's given us more and better everything and taken virtually nothing in return. It's hard to ask for more than that.” — Motor Trend

“Value always is a subjective call, but it's hard not to feel shortchanged by the styling, which is familiar to the point of being almost identical to the first-gen R8s.” — Car and Driver

“In fact, all of the controls in the new cockpit take a little getting used to. Not enough to make you crazy, but just a little different than most cars.” — Motor Trend

“But really, the R8's balance, poise and towering performance envelope are the most easily recognized characteristics, and they provide ample assurance to any half-decent driver.” — Road & Track
